The "roll for change" approach creates some nicely arranged maps where emergent details come close to matching a hand-drawn map.<br /><br />The useful idea I didn't consider was applying a regional gradient across the map, which helps to define "themes" to the regions that emerge and makes the map feel structured on a global sense: "The big swamps are all out west, head northeast to find mountain ranges", etc., which sounds exactly like the sort of tavern rumors you'd hear about the wilderness just before setting out. It provides a strategic planning element to exploration.Edward Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722813928118912296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239577512598038009.post-24415995191331703352013-02-14T09:45:14.041-08:002013-02-14T09:45:14.041-08:00I've used both mixed dice colors and reading d...I've used both mixed dice colors and reading dice left to right (which I call "literal dice".) I always worry about people understanding the whole literal dice thing, though, and I try to restrict mixed colors to dice types that people might have a lot of.Talysmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02162328521343832412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239577512598038009.post-57862486490185401832013-02-14T08:46:46.075-08:002013-02-14T08:46:46.075-08:00Also, colored dice would work as well.Also, colored dice would work as well.Brett Slocumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09240226222507995367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239577512598038009.post-81100446972418229942013-02-14T08:34:43.686-08:002013-02-14T08:34:43.686-08:00A thought on your first point: sometimes I use a b...A thought on your first point: sometimes I use a bunch of the same dice for different tables, and just use how they fell to determine what table to use them on.<br /><br />For instance, you could roll 10d10 for 5 percentile tables all at once, and simply read them in groups of two from left to right.Charles Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00941603544547428940noreply@blogger.com
